Vintage original Vietnam war in-country machine-embroidered patch, size is 3.2" by 2.7". A great find for any military collectible enthusiast. By late 1960, ARVN 21st Infantry Division units were spread out from Tay Ninh (32nd Regiment) to Ca Mau (31st Regiment) with troops also operating in the Kien Tuong - Kien Phong area (33rd Regiment) and in Long An Province. These troop dispositions proved advantageous to division commander Col. Tran Thien Kiem when he moved in support of President Diem to help put down Col. Nguyen Chanh Thi's November 11, 1960 Airborne coup attempt, but they undoubtedly made command and control of the division difficult. It was eventually decided to concentrate the entire division in the Mekong Delta. Meanwhile, on March 16, 1961, a 48th Regiment had been activated, apparently at Ba Xuyen in the Delta. (it was an upgraded regional forces regiment). A Defense Ministry decree of February 14, 1963 redesignated the 48th Regiment the 32nd Regiment of the 21st Division while the former 32nd Regiment became the 48th Independent Regiment. The new 48th Regiment (ex-32nd) is now part of the 18th Division. The 21st Division was for many years concentrated in the southern part of the Mekong Delta. In late 1970, a forward headquarters was set up at Ca Mau, the southernmost town of any consequence in Vietnam, in connection with the division's 1970-71 U Minh Forest campaign. However the division's rear headquarters remained at Bac Lieu. It is believed that the Sa Dec headquarters was closed prior to the arrival of the 9th Division headquarters at Sa Dec in September 1963. In April 1972, the entire 21st Division was brought up to Binh Duong Province in MR 3 to join in unsuccessful attempts to reopen National Highway 13th to An Loc. It returned to the Delta three months later. In 1973, the division opened a field headquarters at Vi Thanh, the Chuong Thien Province seat, and it conducted operations in the area since that time.
